For the most part of 19th and 20th Century, there was little doubt that the most powerful colonial empire of all was the British Empire. British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world. Britain had dominion over 458 million people which at that time was the one fifth of the global population at that time. Total area under the rule of British was 33,700,000 square kms, approximately a quarter of earths total land area. Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.
The Jewel in the British Crown, India was the empire's most cherished and most valuable colony. On surface everything looke like it had always looked. Colonial masters were still as colonial as ever and their Indian subjects still as loyal as ever. But after, 200 years of oppression, segregation and discrimination, crack have started to appear. The Jewel had started to crack at the edges.
This three episode series focuses on the three distinct time periods of transformation of British Empire during the 21st Century
EPISODE 1: The rise of British Empire
Britain's rise to the the top of all colonial powers in the world. And on British Empire's most cherished and valued possession, India. But by 1930, NationalistIndependence movement started by Mahatama Gandhi was gaining momentum throughout India and was challenging the Empire.
EPISODE 2: The gradual decline of British Empire.
Britain has lost its prized possession, the jewel in its Crown, India. But loss of India signals the decline of yesterday's colonial Super power. Commonwealth is put to shame by racist citizens of Britain as they oppose the immigration of citizens of British commonwealth nations like India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Barbados and Malaya. The very same people who were living under British Rule in their own country.The Palestine question?
EPISODE 3: End of British Empire:
British Monarchs and Government are embarrassed by the shameful act of racial discrimination by British citizens. And White only policy of Australian Government. Kenyan independence after years of violent civil war. Britain grants independence to Hong Kong, the last British Colony.

Crown colony

A Crown colony, also known in the 17th century as royal colony, was a type of colonial administration of the British overseas territories.

Crown, or royal, colonies were ruled by a governor appointed by the monarch. By the middle of the 19th century, the sovereign appointed royal governors on the advice of the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Under the name of "royal colony", the first of what would later become known as Crown colonies was the English Colony of Virginia in the present-day United States, after the Crown, in 1624, revoked the royal charter it had granted to the Virginia Company, taking over direct administration.

British Empire

The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time, and covered more than 13,000,000sqmi (33,670,000km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.

During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal and Spain pioneered European exploration of the globe, and in the process established large overseas empires. Envious of the great wealth these empires generated, England, France, and the Netherlands began to establish colonies and trade networks of their own in the Americas and Asia. A series of wars in the 17th and 18th centuries with the Netherlands and France left England (and then, following union between England and Scotland in 1707, Great Britain) the dominant colonial power in North America and India.

American History: The New World | Colonial History of the United States of America | Documentary

For the most part of 19th and 20th Century, there was little doubt that the most powerful colonial empire of all was the British Empire. British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world. Britain had dominion over 458 million people which at that time was the one fifth of the global population at that time. Total area under the rule of British was 33,700,000 square kms, approximately a quarter of earths total land area. Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.
The Jewel in the British Crown, India was the empire's most cherished and most valuable colony. On surface everything looke like it had always looked. Colonial masters were still as colonial as ever and their Indian subjects still as loyal as ever. But after, 200 years of oppression, segregation and discrimination, crack have started to appear. The Jewel had started to crack at the edges.
This three episode series focuses on the three distinct time periods of transformation of British Empire during the 21st Century
EPISODE 1: The rise of British Empire
Britain's rise to the the top of all colonial powers in the world. And on British Empire's most cherished and valued possession, India. But by 1930, NationalistIndependence movement started by Mahatama Gandhi was gaining momentum throughout India and was challenging the Empire.
EPISODE 2: The gradual decline of British Empire.
Britain has lost its prized possession, the jewel in its Crown, India. But loss of India signals the decline of yesterday's colonial Super power. Commonwealth is put to shame by racist citizens of Britain as they oppose the immigration of citizens of British commonwealth nations like India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Barbados and Malaya. The very same people who were living under British Rule in their own country.The Palestine question?
EPISODE 3: End of British Empire:
British Monarchs and Government are embarrassed by the shameful act of racial discrimination by British citizens. And White only policy of Australian Government. Kenyan independence after years of violent civil war. Britain grants independence to Hong Kong, the last British Colony.

American History: The New World | Colonial History of the United States of America | Documentary

This old documentary film (produced in 1953) traces the discovery of America and early voyages by European explorers. It shows the Native American civilizations encountered by the Spanish, the Spanish colonization, The English freebooters on the Spanish Main, and the life of early settlers in New England and the South.
Historical Background / Context:
The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European settlements from the start of colonization of America until their incorporation into the United States. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain and the Netherlands launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Small early attempts often disappeared; the death rate was very high among the first arrivals. Nevertheless. Nevertheless, successful colonies were established.
European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups. No aristocrats settled permanently, but a number of adventurers, soldiers, farmers, and tradesmen arrived. Diversity was an American characteristic as the Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden, the EnglishQuakers of Pennsylvania, the English Puritans of New England, the English settlers of Jamestown, and the "worthy poor" of Georgia, came to the new continent and built colonies with distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles.
Non-British colonies were taken over and the inhabitants were all assimilated. There were no major civil wars among the 13 colonies, and the two chief armed rebellions (in Virginia in 1676 and in New York in 1689-91) were short-lived failures. Wars were recurrent between the French and the British – the so-called French and Indian Wars (1754–1763) especially - and involved French support for Wabanaki attacks on the frontiers. By 1760 France was defeated and the British seized its colonies.
On the eastern seaboard of what would become the United States, the four distinct British regions were: New England, the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Bay Colonies (Upper South) and the Lower South. By the time European settlers arrived around 1600 - 1650, a significant percentage of the Native Americans living in the eastern United States had been ravaged by new diseases, introduced to them possibly possibly introduced to them decades before by explorers and sailors.
Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.
English colonies
England made its first successful efforts at the start of the 17th century for several reasons. During this era, English proto-nationalism and national assertiveness blossomed under the threat of Spanish invasion, assisted by a degree of Protestant militarism and the energy of Queen Elizabeth. At this time, however, there was no official attempt by the English government to create a colonial empire. Rather, the motivation behind the founding of colonies was piecemeal and variable. Practical considerations, such as commercial enterprise, overpopulation and the desire for freedom of religion, played their parts. The main waves of settlement came in the 17th century. After 1700 most immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants - young unmarried men and women seeking a new life in a much richer environment. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, the British shipped an estimated 50,000 convicts to its American colonies. The first convicts to arrive pre-dated the arrival of the Mayflower.
New England
New England is the oldest clearly defined region of the United States. While New England was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, English Pilgrims and especially Puritans, fleeing religious persecution in England, arrived in the 1620-1660 era. They dominated the region; their religion was later called Congregationalism. They and their descendants are called Yankees. Farming, fishing and lumbering prospered, as did seafaring and merchandising.

BRITISH EMPIRE IN COLOUR - PART 1

For the most part of 19th and 20th Century, there was little doubt that the most powerful colonial empire of all was the British Empire. British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world. Britain had dominion over 458 million people which at that time was the one fifth of the global population at that time. Total area under the rule of British was 33,700,000 square kms, approximately a quarter of earths total land area. Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.

Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.
The Jewel in the British Crown, India was the empire's most cherished and most valuable colony. On surface everything looke like it had always looked. Colonial masters were still as colonial as ever and their Indian subjects still as loyal as ever. But after, 200 years of oppression, segregation and discrimination, crack have started to appear. The Jewel had started to crack at the edges.
This three episode series focuses on the three distinct time periods of transformation of British Empire during the 21st Century
EPISODE 1: The rise of British Empire
Britain's rise to the the top of all colonial powers in the world. And on British Empire's most cherished and valued possession, India. But by 1930, NationalistIndependence movement started by Mahatama Gandhi was gaining momentum throughout India and was challenging the Empire.
EPISODE 2: The gradual decline of British Empire.
Britain has lost its prized possession, the jewel in its Crown, India. But loss of India signals the decline of yesterday's colonial Super power. Commonwealth is put to shame by racist citizens of Britain as they oppose the immigration of citizens of British commonwealth nations like India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Barbados and Malaya. The very same people who were living under British Rule in their own country.The Palestine question?
EPISODE 3: End of British Empire:
British Monarchs and Government are embarrassed by the shameful act of racial discrimination by British citizens. And White only policy of Australian Government. Kenyan independence after years of violent civil war. Britain grants independence to Hong Kong, the last British Colony.

The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained

BRITISH EMPIRE IN COLOUR - PART 1

For the most part of 19th and 20th Century, there was little doubt that the most powerful colonial empire of all was the British Empire. British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world. Britain had dominion over 458 million people which at that time was the one fifth of the global population at that time. Total area under the rule of British was 33,700,000 square kms, approximately a quarter of earths total land area. Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.

History Of The British Empire - Documentary

History Of The British Empire - Documentary
The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time. The empire covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which ...

How the Europeans Divided Africa

The white man came to Africa as missionaries and explorers but were soon sitting on a table dividing Africa amongst themselves. Here's a peep into how Europeans looted Africa of it wealth and sovereignty...

British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world.

Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.
The Jewel in the British Crown, India was the empire's most cherished and most valuable colony. On surface everything looke like it had always looked. Colonial masters were still as colonial as ever and their Indian subjects still as loyal as ever. But after, 200 years of oppression, segregation and discrimination, crack have started to appear. The Jewel had started to crack at the edges.
This three episode series focuses on the three distinct time periods of transformation of British Empire during the 21st Century
EPISODE 1: The rise of British Empire
Britain's rise to the the top of all colonial powers in the world. And on British Empire's most cherished and valued possession, India. But by 1930, NationalistIndependence movement started by Mahatama Gandhi was gaining momentum throughout India and was challenging the Empire.
EPISODE 2: The gradual decline of British Empire.
Britain has lost its prized possession, the jewel in its Crown, India. But loss of India signals the decline of yesterday's colonial Super power. Commonwealth is put to shame by racist citizens of Britain as they oppose the immigration of citizens of British commonwealth nations like India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Barbados and Malaya. The very same people who were living under British Rule in their own country.The Palestine question?
EPISODE 3: End of British Empire:
British Monarchs and Government are embarrassed by the shameful act of racial discrimination by British citizens. And White only policy of Australian Government. Kenyan independence after years of violent civil war. Britain grants independence to Hong Kong, the last British Colony.

This old documentary film (produced in 1953) traces the discovery of America and early voyages by European explorers. It shows the Native American civilizations encountered by the Spanish, the Spanish colonization, The English freebooters on the Spanish Main, and the life of early settlers in New England and the South.
Historical Background / Context:
The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European settlements from the start of colonization of America until their incorporation into the United States. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain and the Netherlands launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Small early attempts often disappeared; the death rate was very high among the first arrivals. Nevertheless. Nevertheless, successful colonies were established.
European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups. No aristocrats settled permanently, but a number of adventurers, soldiers, farmers, and tradesmen arrived. Diversity was an American characteristic as the Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden, the EnglishQuakers of Pennsylvania, the English Puritans of New England, the English settlers of Jamestown, and the "worthy poor" of Georgia, came to the new continent and built colonies with distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles.
Non-British colonies were taken over and the inhabitants were all assimilated. There were no major civil wars among the 13 colonies, and the two chief armed rebellions (in Virginia in 1676 and in New York in 1689-91) were short-lived failures. Wars were recurrent between the French and the British – the so-called French and Indian Wars (1754–1763) especially - and involved French support for Wabanaki attacks on the frontiers. By 1760 France was defeated and the British seized its colonies.
On the eastern seaboard of what would become the United States, the four distinct British regions were: New England, the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Bay Colonies (Upper South) and the Lower South. By the time European settlers arrived around 1600 - 1650, a significant percentage of the Native Americans living in the eastern United States had been ravaged by new diseases, introduced to them possibly possibly introduced to them decades before by explorers and sailors.
Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.
English colonies
England made its first successful efforts at the start of the 17th century for several reasons. During this era, English proto-nationalism and national assertiveness blossomed under the threat of Spanish invasion, assisted by a degree of Protestant militarism and the energy of Queen Elizabeth. At this time, however, there was no official attempt by the English government to create a colonial empire. Rather, the motivation behind the founding of colonies was piecemeal and variable. Practical considerations, such as commercial enterprise, overpopulation and the desire for freedom of religion, played their parts. The main waves of settlement came in the 17th century. After 1700 most immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants - young unmarried men and women seeking a new life in a much richer environment. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, the British shipped an estimated 50,000 convicts to its American colonies. The first convicts to arrive pre-dated the arrival of the Mayflower.
New England
New England is the oldest clearly defined region of the United States. While New England was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, English Pilgrims and especially Puritans, fleeing religious persecution in England, arrived in the 1620-1660 era. They dominated the region; their religion was later called Congregationalism. They and their descendants are called Yankees. Farming, fishing and lumbering prospered, as did seafaring and merchandising.

England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.
English colonies
England made its first successful efforts at the start of the 17th century for several reasons. During this era, English proto-nationalism and national assertiveness blossomed under the threat of Spanish invasion, assisted by a degree of Protestant militarism and the energy of Queen Elizabeth. At this time, however, there was no official attempt by the English government to create a colonial empire. Rather, the motivation behind the founding of colonies was piecemeal and variable. Practical considerations, such as commercial enterprise, overpopulation and the desire for freedom of religion, played their parts. The main waves of settlement came in the 17th century. After 1700 most immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants - young unmarried men and women seeking a new life in a much richer environment. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, the British shipped an estimated 50,000 convicts to its American colonies. The first convicts to arrive pre-dated the arrival of the Mayflower.
New England
New England is the oldest clearly defined region of the United States. While New England was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, English Pilgrims and especially Puritans, fleeing religious persecution in England, arrived in the 1620-1660 era. They dominated the region; their religion was later called Congregationalism. They and their descendants are called Yankees. Farming, fishing and lumbering prospered, as did seafaring and merchandising.

History Of The British Empire - Documentary
The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time. The empire covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.
During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal and Spain pioneered European exploration of the globe, and in the process established large overseas empires. Envious of the great wealth these empires generated, England, France, and the Netherlands began to establish colonies and trade networks of their own in the Americas and Asia.[5] A series of wars in the 17th and 18th centuries with the Netherlands and France left England (and then, following union between England and Scotland in 1707, Great Britain) the dominant colonial power in North America and India.
The independence of the Thirteen Colonies in North America in 1783 after the American War of Independence caused Britain to lose some of its oldest and most populous colonies. British attention soon turned towards Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. After the defeat of France in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1792–1815), Britain emerged as the principal naval and imperial power of the 19th century (with London the largest city in the world from about 1830). Unchallenged at sea, British dominance was later described as Pax Britannica ("British Peace"), a period of relative peace in Europe and the world (1815–1914) during which the British Empire became the global hegemon and adopted the role of global policeman. In the early 19th century, the Industrial Revolution began to transform Britain; by the time of the Great Exhibition in 1851 the country was described as the "workshop of the world". The British Empire was expanded to include India, large parts of Africa and many other territories throughout the world. Alongside the formal control it exerted over its own colonies, British dominance of much of world trade meant that it effectively controlled the economies of many regions, such as Asia and Latin America. Domestically, political attitudes favoured free trade and laissez-faire policies and a gradual widening of the voting franchise. During the century, the population increased at a dramatic rate, accompanied by rapid urbanisation, causing significant social and economic stresses. To seek new markets and sources of raw materials, the Conservative Party under Disraeli launched a period of imperialist expansion in Egypt, South Africa, and elsewhere. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand became self-governing dominions.

BRITISH EMPIRE IN COLOUR - PART 1

For the most part of 19th and 20th Century, there was little doubt that the most powerful colonial empire of all was the British Empire. British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world. Britain had dominion over 458 million people which at that time was the one fifth of the global population at that time. Total area under the rule of British was 33,700,000 square kms, approximately a quarter of earths total land area. Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.
The Jewel in the British Crown, India was the empire's most cherished and most valuable colony. On surface everything looke like it had always looked. Colonial masters were still as colonial as ever and their Indian subjects still as loyal as ever. But after, 200 years of oppression, segregation and discrimination, crack have started to appear. The Jewel had started to crack at the edges.
This three episode series focuses on the three distinct time periods of transformation of British Empire during the 21st Century
EPISODE 1: The rise of British Empire
Britain's rise to the the top of all colonial powers in the world. And on British Empire's most cherished and valued possession, India. But by 1930, NationalistIndependence movement started by Mahatama Gandhi was gaining momentum throughout India and was challenging the Empire.
EPISODE 2: The gradual decline of British Empire.
Britain has lost its prized possession, the jewel in its Crown, India. But loss of India signals the decline of yesterday's colonial Super power. Commonwealth is put to shame by racist citizens of Britain as they oppose the immigration of citizens of British commonwealth nations like India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Barbados and Malaya. The very same people who were living under British Rule in their own country.The Palestine question?
EPISODE 3: End of British Empire:
British Monarchs and Government are embarrassed by the shameful act of racial discrimination by British citizens. And White only policy of Australian Government. Kenyan independence after years of violent civil war. Britain grants independence to Hong Kong, the last British Colony.

This old documentary film (produced in 1953) traces the discovery of America and early voyages by European explorers. It shows the Native American civilizations encountered by the Spanish, the Spanish colonization, The English freebooters on the Spanish Main, and the life of early settlers in New England and the South.
Historical Background / Context:
The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European settlements from the start of colonization of America until their incorporation into the United States. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain and the Netherlands launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Small early attempts often disappeared; the death rate was very high among the first arrivals. Nevertheless. Nevertheless, successful colonies were established.
European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups. No aristocrats settled permanently, but a number of adventurers, soldiers, farmers, and tradesmen arrived. Diversity was an American characteristic as the Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden, the EnglishQuakers of Pennsylvania, the English Puritans of New England, the English settlers of Jamestown, and the "worthy poor" of Georgia, came to the new continent and built colonies with distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles.
Non-British colonies were taken over and the inhabitants were all assimilated. There were no major civil wars among the 13 colonies, and the two chief armed rebellions (in Virginia in 1676 and in New York in 1689-91) were short-lived failures. Wars were recurrent between the French and the British – the so-called French and Indian Wars (1754–1763) especially - and involved French support for Wabanaki attacks on the frontiers. By 1760 France was defeated and the British seized its colonies.
On the eastern seaboard of what would become the United States, the four distinct British regions were: New England, the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Bay Colonies (Upper South) and the Lower South. By the time European settlers arrived around 1600 - 1650, a significant percentage of the Native Americans living in the eastern United States had been ravaged by new diseases, introduced to them possibly possibly introduced to them decades before by explorers and sailors.
Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.
English colonies
England made its first successful efforts at the start of the 17th century for several reasons. During this era, English proto-nationalism and national assertiveness blossomed under the threat of Spanish invasion, assisted by a degree of Protestant militarism and the energy of Queen Elizabeth. At this time, however, there was no official attempt by the English government to create a colonial empire. Rather, the motivation behind the founding of colonies was piecemeal and variable.

Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

BRITISH EMPIRE IN COLOUR - PART 1

For the most part of 19th and 20th Century, there was little doubt that the most powerful colonial empire of all was the British Empire. British had started their colonial conquest in late 16th century and continued it well into the 20th century. By the year 1922, Britain had colonies on every continent of the world. Britain had dominion over 458 million people which at that time was the one fifth of the global population at that time. Total area under the rule of British was 33,700,000 square kms, approximately a quarter of earths total land area. Such was the prowess of the British empire that it was said that sun never sets in British empire, when one part of the British empire was engulfed in darkness of the night, it would be day in some other British colony.
The Jewel in the British Crown, India was the empire's most cherished and most valuable colony. On surface everything looke like it had always looked. Colonial masters were still as colonial as ever and their Indian subjects still as loyal as ever. But after, 200 years of oppression, segregation and discrimination, crack have started to appear. The Jewel had started to crack at the edges.
This three episode series focuses on the three distinct time periods of transformation of British Empire during the 21st Century
EPISODE 1: The rise of British Empire
Britain's rise to the the top of all colonial powers in the world. And on British Empire's most cherished and valued possession, India. But by 1930, NationalistIndependence movement started by Mahatama Gandhi was gaining momentum throughout India and was challenging the Empire.

Commonwealth is put to shame by racist citizens of Britain as they oppose the immigration of citizens of British commonwealth nations like India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Barbados and Malaya. The very same people who were living under British Rule in their own country.The Palestine question?

This old documentary film (produced in 1953) traces the discovery of America and early voyages by European explorers. It shows the Native American civilizations encountered by the Spanish, the Spanish colonization, The English freebooters on the Spanish Main, and the life of early settlers in New England and the South.
Historical Background / Context:
The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European settlements from the start of colonization of America until their incorporation into the United States. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain and the Netherlands launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Small early attempts often disappeared; the death rate was very high among the first arrivals. Nevertheless. Nevertheless, successful colonies were established.
European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups. No aristocrats settled permanently, but a number of adventurers, soldiers, farmers, and tradesmen arrived. Diversity was an American characteristic as the Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden, the EnglishQuakers of Pennsylvania, the English Puritans of New England, the English settlers of Jamestown, and the "worthy poor" of Georgia, came to the new continent and built colonies with distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles.
Non-British colonies were taken over and the inhabitants were all assimilated. There were no major civil wars among the 13 colonies, and the two chief armed rebellions (in Virginia in 1676 and in New York in 1689-91) were short-lived failures. Wars were recurrent between the French and the British – the so-called French and Indian Wars (1754–1763) especially - and involved French support for Wabanaki attacks on the frontiers. By 1760 France was defeated and the British seized its colonies.
On the eastern seaboard of what would become the United States, the four distinct British regions were: New England, the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Bay Colonies (Upper South) and the Lower South. By the time European settlers arrived around 1600 - 1650, a significant percentage of the Native Americans living in the eastern United States had been ravaged by new diseases, introduced to them possibly possibly introduced to them decades before by explorers and sailors.
Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.
English colonies
England made its first successful efforts at the start of the 17th century for several reasons. During this era, English proto-nationalism and national assertiveness blossomed under the threat of Spanish invasion, assisted by a degree of Protestant militarism and the energy of Queen Elizabeth. At this time, however, there was no official attempt by the English government to create a colonial empire. Rather, the motivation behind the founding of colonies was piecemeal and variable. Practical considerations, such as commercial enterprise, overpopulation and the desire for freedom of religion, played their parts. The main waves of settlement came in the 17th century. After 1700 most immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants - young unmarried men and women seeking a new life in a much richer environment. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, the British shipped an estimated 50,000 convicts to its American colonies. The first convicts to arrive pre-dated the arrival of the Mayflower.
New England
New England is the oldest clearly defined region of the United States. While New England was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, English Pilgrims and especially Puritans, fleeing religious persecution in England, arrived in the 1620-1660 era. They dominated the region; their religion was later called Congregationalism. They and their descendants are called Yankees. Farming, fishing and lumbering prospered, as did seafaring and merchandising.

History Of The British Empire - Documentary

History Of The British Empire - Documentary
The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time. The empire covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.
During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal and Spain pioneered European exploration of the globe, and in the process established large overseas empires. Envious of the great wealth these empires generated, England, France, and the Netherlands began to establish colonies and trade networks of their own in the Americas and Asia.[5] A series of wars in the 17th and 18th centuries with the Netherlands and France left England (and then, following union between England and Scotland in 1707, Great Britain) the dominant colonial power in North America and India.
The independence of the Thirteen Colonies in North America in 1783 after the American War of Independence caused Britain to lose some of its oldest and most populous colonies. British attention soon turned towards Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. After the defeat of France in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1792–1815), Britain emerged as the principal naval and imperial power of the 19th century (with London the largest city in the world from about 1830). Unchallenged at sea, British dominance was later described as Pax Britannica ("British Peace"), a period of relative peace in Europe and the world (1815–1914) during which the British Empire became the global hegemon and adopted the role of global policeman. In the early 19th century, the Industrial Revolution began to transform Britain; by the time of the Great Exhibition in 1851 the country was described as the "workshop of the world". The British Empire was expanded to include India, large parts of Africa and many other territories throughout the world. Alongside the formal control it exerted over its own colonies, British dominance of much of world trade meant that it effectively controlled the economies of many regions, such as Asia and Latin America. Domestically, political attitudes favoured free trade and laissez-faire policies and a gradual widening of the voting franchise. During the century, the population increased at a dramatic rate, accompanied by rapid urbanisation, causing significant social and economic stresses. To seek new markets and sources of raw materials, the Conservative Party under Disraeli launched a period of imperialist expansion in Egypt, South Africa, and elsewhere. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand became self-governing dominions.
